Kristie's Knitting Notes
Once upon a time, I used to write a weekly knitting and reading roundup. At some point, I switched it to a monthly update. I think it was because I didn’t really have enough to update on each week, but I think that’s changed. So, I decided I would like to get back to a weekly update. I’ll likely still have the monthly one too, but we’ll see how things unravel!
For now, I rounded up what lived on my needles and what I read last week!

FOs (Finished Objects)
I finished DK Uniform Shortie Sock #1.
Yarn: Mystery DK Yarn
Needles: Takumi Clover 9” Circulars
WIPs (Works in Progress)
My first sweater is still on the needles, but I estimate that I only have about 60 rounds left to finish the body! I have been giving a lot of love and attention to it recently, so it is getting closer.
I am still working here and there on my upcycled pouch cover. I have given it some love and attention, so it is getting closer to the finish line.
Yarn: Freckled Whimsey
Colorway: Love is in the Air
Reading
Last week, I finished:
The River is Waiting ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Boleyn Traitor ⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am currently reading It’s Not Her.
You can order my reads through Bookshop.org to add them to your bookshelf or TBR pile. Every purchase gives back to local bookstores and contributes to my Wool Work for Yarn Fund. Win-win!
That’s all for this week. I’ll be back next week with my knitting and reading update.
